Description

TRDL 2012 Series, No. 02 – Admiral Hamilton [Time-Traveler Version]
Admiral Hamilton is one of the creator-owned characters I’ve helped one of my longterm clients design and flesh out for his universe of stories and comics. Think space opera, but with a decidedly personal tether back to cultural experiences of the author. So, Admiral Hamilton, one of maybe 12-14 characters I’ve done for Al Hobbie, was already worked out last year or so in his middle-aged adult persona, which can be seen in the process notes below. The challenge this time, and I have to say one of the hardest ones to suss out as a designer to date, was to send him back in time, into the 70′s Projects somewhere in the hard inner city, but wearing victorian dress. Also, he was to have aged considerably, and wield a technologically-enhanced walking cane. And have a cyborg lower half. With ROM style feet. But not be pantless. And he was to look either angry or crazed, depending. He’s trying to get back home, etc. As you can imagine, it was a journey reaching a design that realized the client’s vision and made some visual sense. More on that in the notes! But it’s always fun working with Al, and I’m in this for precisely this reason: finding a design solution to the images in a client’s head, even when they are hard to nail down.
